    QUICK FACTS ABOUT BEARS
    There are around 180,000 to 200,000 brown bears worldwide. Most of them live in Alaska, Canada and Russia where the brown bear can still roam vast areas almost unpopulated by human beings and covered in forests.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    The brown bear can reach a weight of between 150 and 370 kilogrammes depending on age, sex and season.
    – LBC’s – 20 IC
    Despite their weight, the animals can cover short distances at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    Brown bears are generally loners who will only seek a mate for short periods.
    – Squats – 20 IC
    At birth, bear cubs are blind and naked.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    In the wild, these omnivores spend up to 16 hours a day looking for food, which is reflected in the saying ‘hungry as a bear’.
    – Freddie Mercury’s – 20 IC
    Bears have a particularly good nose: their sense of smell enables them to sniff food at a distance of several kilometres.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    Brown bears in the wild are mainly active at dusk and at night.
    – Lunges – 20 IC
    In the wild, brown bears can reach a maximum age of between 20 and 30 years. In captivity, they can get even older.

    The brown bear is the largest predator still living on the continent of Europe.

  • EHing the Wild West – from Fracsac

    There was an FNG alert broadcast across the channels for the Scrum, or the Goldmine or whatever we call Lasalle these days. Gabby and Yankee came from uptown to support their EH.

    Maytag, Boo-Boo, SOGO, RevSox, the FNG and YHC rounded out the 8.

    Disclaimer followed by a warmup.

    First thang:

    Stations. Partner up. 4 stations, dead hanging, dips, steps ups and 10 burpees for the timer. Rinse and repeat.

    Dirty Mac Deuce.
    4 rounds of 3 exercises (arm leg and core) with a lap in between.

    Mosey to the field for bear crawls, lunge walks and burpees. Finished off with some Mary.

    Mosey back to the flag for COT.

    Welcome Space Cowboy!

  • Double Pidgeon, Butterflies and Scantron Running (Oh My!) – from Charmin

    At 5:29, jokes were made about YHC’s shirt since it was part of my Halloween Costume, but now it is just a part of my rotation. After the jesting, YCH lead the count off since Triple Shift was already there thus we figured more coming wasn’t as likely.

    Starting at 5:30 Knotters walked away backwards, stretchers walked away backwards, and the runners ran away forward sine they apparently still haven’t received the memo.

    That being said, YHC mentioned on Monday that his hips were tight, so he directed Stretching with that in mind. We started out with Pool Boy (THE New Orleans Resident) and at some point he was traded for Kennah-Brah from the runners. YHC won’t say who received the better end of that deal, but all the locals know.

    At 6:12 with YHC watching my watch, wanting to get back to the proverbial shovel flag, Bolt decided to get creative by creating a stretch. We had just done the Pidgeon Stretch; so he decided to do a Double Pidgeon. It ended up being one of his better creations. Maybe Kennah-Brah was rubbing off on him.

    With a little over a minute to go, we make our way across the field and notice all the runners sitting doing a butterfly stretch. Apparently, they forget to run for 45 minutes without Pai Gow, or maybe we should rename Tuesday to Wally Stretch.

    That being said, we all start walking towards the flag and notice a tall, lanky, skinner runner coming in hot. It wasn’t until he was on top of us, that we realized that Scantron was coming in HOT! Jokes were made about him not running backwards, but it was good to see him push himself.

    COT consisted of Count-Off, with more that we started with, Name-O-Rama, and Announcements and Intentions. YHC then read from Matthew (9:20-22) galvanizing the PAX to discern what we have been suffering with for too long, and to take that to Our Father in Heaven. Even though he knows all, just like an earthly father wants, he desires his children, us, to share it with him.

  • Keeping the Momentum – from Mahatma

    10/17 heard the callout of WarEagle to pax to keep the Momentum of West Metairie area beatdown going. Saw a need to fill the Q – called Minuterice and got his hard commit on my drive home Tue night.

    COT

  • Back at it – from Charmin

    After completing the 1st Grow Run and GRE-41 over the weekend, YHC was eager to get back out to the gloom. Thankfully, Hokie reached out to Bolt to HC since YHC needed stretching. Started with mirroring the KnOTters by walking backwards away from them. While they did their own thing, Bolt and Vagabond heard a recounting of the weekend, along with groans from the much needed stretching. Vagabond added his own gassing from time to time.

    Worked our way back to the shovel flag for some COT where YHC asked for prayers as this weekend is the 1 year anniversary of my father’s sudden passing. Glad to be back in the gloom with brothers.

  • Smurph Mountain Misogi part 2 – from Sandbar

    Same as before. Gather in groups of 4 of simliar speed – one to run for help and 2 to carry the body. Quick disclaimer. No Warmup. 5 mountains. 10 burpees at the bottom and top of each mountain. That’s a Century. Plus a mini- murph tucked into the middle with 25 pullups, 50 pushups, and 75 squats. Most everyone made it back by COT, but noone completed 5 mountains. The Rules of a Misogi (according to Michael Easter) are Rule 1: Make it really hard. Rule 2: Don’t die. Except for one pax spewing Martinelli’s, there were no casualties. But the Smurph Mountain Misogi remains a challenge.

  • The not so secret Wally Sprint – from Fracsac

    The Wally Sprint AO is no longer a secret, as could be seen with 17 posting today. Dinghy scoped it out last week and inevitably reported back to Moana that it was indeed an acceptable place to post. So Moana put his EH hat on and brought in a new member to our cult….err….Group!

    10 Pax sprinted under the direction of Pai Gow while rest did Knots or S&M. There’s something for everyone on Tuesday at Pontiff, so come on out and then hit up the Discipline is Destiny discussion after.

    COT

    NMM

    Welcome Judy P! It’s a reference to a judge and his last name is Long. Apparently we need help in the naming category. TCLAPS to Moana for the EH!

    Oh, and Strava tells me I’m a local legend in the 400M at Pontiff. Think you can take the title? C’Mon!
